Removal of sediment, leaves, trash and debris from catch basins, storm drains, grates and connected structures to keep drainage moving.
Catch basin and storm drain cleaning in Seguin is less about tidiness and more about keeping water moving once it leaves the pavement. This is pecan country along the Guadalupe River, and that means heavy leaf drop, nut hulls and fine river-bottom silt all headed for the same grates. Properties in Starcke Park, Mill Creek and Navarro see it every season: a basin that worked fine in spring is half full by fall.
The ground here holds onto sediment instead of letting it wash through, so the first structure after a hard rain, usually a forebay or a basin near a drive entrance, takes the brunt of it. On older pecan-shaded lots the canopy drops enough material to pack a grate solid in one wet month. On newer acreage near the river, bare or recently graded slopes send loose soil straight into the system, and a volunteer tree taking root on an embankment is often the first sign nobody has been down there in a while. The result shows up as slow drawdown after storms or standing water that should have cleared hours earlier.
Working with Corral Bros on this scope starts with someone opening the structures and telling you what is actually down there, not guessing from a dry inlet grate. We clean the sump, clear the grates and connected lines, and haul off what comes out, whether that is a few seasons of pecan litter or river silt that settled in after a flood event. You get a straightforward scope, a crew that works around your tenants or residents, and a system that is actually ready for the next storm instead of catching up on it.
We're a local, family-built company that treats your Seguin property like our own, tidy crews, clear pricing, and catch basin & storm drain cleaning that holds up to Guadalupe County conditions. Available as a one-time project or part of an ongoing plan.
We walk the property with whoever manages it, a board member, a property manager or a GC closing out a site, and we open structures to look at sump depth and outlet condition rather than guess from the surface. Estimates are free and on-site, usually scheduled within 48 hours. You get a clear scope before any work starts, no surprise line items after the fact.
It depends on tree cover and how much bare or disturbed ground drains into the system, but a lot of the pecan-shaded lots around Starcke Park and Mill Creek need attention at least once a year just from leaf drop and nut hulls. Properties with newer grading near Navarro that still have exposed slopes often need a check after the first few heavy rain events of the season.
We schedule around your property's traffic, not the other way around. Most catch basin and grate work is done from the drive lane or a parking stall, so we coordinate timing with on-site management to avoid move-in days, trash pickup or peak retail hours. For gated or resident-heavy sites we confirm access in advance so nobody is caught off guard by a crew at a drain.
Guadalupe River bottomland holds fine sediment, and when that silt washes off pecan-shaded lots and older Seguin streets it settles fast in the first basin it reaches, which is usually the forebay nearest the inlet. Combined with heavy leaf and hull drop from mature pecan trees, basins here tend toward slow drawdown and clogged grates well before they show standing water.
The biggest factors are how much sediment has built up in the sump, how many structures and how much connected pipe need checking, and whether debris has to be hauled off site versus staged briefly on a landscaped area. A basin that has gone a few seasons without attention, common on older Seguin lots with heavy pecan canopy, simply takes longer to clear than one on a regular schedule.
